sigh. "good" that you filed it against src:libreoffice so
that the bug scripts/reportbug didn't gather any info about
installed packages and extensions. Makes it easy to debug this.

Sigh.

Well, a dist-upgrade *does* work. Tested various times.
"Of course" with a fiile:/ deb entry and thus it being 500 as the
base distro...

So it's fine for "normal" users.

So far OK.

Here the dependencies didn't change.

What I can explain this with is added Breaks: in -common:

        libreoffice-pdfimport (<< 1.0.6),
        libreoffice-presenter-console (<< 1.1.1),
        libreoffice-wiki-publisher (<< 1.1.2),
        libreoffice-report-builder (<< 1.2.3),
        libreoffice-presentation-minimizer (<< 1.0.4),
        libreoffice-mysql-connector (<< 1.0.1+LibO3.6.5-1),
        libreoffice-script-provider-bsh (<< 1:3.6~),
        libreoffice-script-provider-js (<< 1:3.6~),
        libreoffice-script-provider-python (<< 1:3.6~),

These are because unopkg sync used in olds libreoffice-commons triggers
are gone

        libreoffice-writer2latex (<< 1.0.2-9),
        libreoffice-writer2xhtml (<< 1.0.2-9)

This is needed because writer2latex needs a patch to be compatible with LO4s
changed API.

So if you have one of those installed and didn't specify in the aptitude
(why not apt-get, fwiw, which I have more trust in) line, do that.

But I fear it's too late now and you should just do apt-get -f install.

The rest is just follow-up errors because aptitude gets confused.

And sorry, this is not a support channel ;)

Sigh. What sense does this do? And if you want experimental stuff
(which is built against and relies on unstable and experimental packages
you probably should give them higher prio.)
